Spurs Captain Cristian Romero is OUT for the rest of the season and his participation in the World Cup is in doubt due to knee injury
Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a major blow after captain Cristian Romero was reportedly ruled out for the remainder of the Premier League season following a knee injury sustained in the match against Sunderland.
The injury occurred during a tense Premier League clash in which Romero went down after a collision while defending inside his own half, forcing him to leave the pitch in visible discomfort.
Early assessments suggest the Argentina international suffered significant knee damage, with concerns pointing towards ligament involvement that requires an extended recovery period.
The setback is expected to keep him out for the rest of the campaign, effectively ending his participation in Tottenham’s final run of fixtures.
The timing is particularly damaging for Spurs, who are still battling in the lower half of the table and fighting to secure Premier League survival.
Romero has been a key defensive leader for Tottenham throughout the season, and his absence leaves a major gap in the team’s backline.
The club is now expected to rely on squad depth options as they attempt to stabilise their defence during a critical period of the season.
Medical staff are continuing to evaluate the full extent of the injury, with a formal update from the club anticipated soon.
Tottenham will now head into the final stretch of the season without their captain, increasing pressure on the remaining squad members to deliver crucial results.
